Carlton Marsh

The wader scrape was busy with gulls coming and going. At 09.30hrs there were 88 Herring Gulls, 10 Common Gulls, c175 BH Gulls and 3 Cormorants. 
Elsewhere 3 Shovelers, 2 Kingfishers, 5 Grey Partridges, Treecreeper and Mistle Thrush and Song Thrush sang briefly.
2 immature Mute Swans came in from the north and alighted on the northern meadow at mid-day, before leaving south.
BMBC Rangers were removing scrub from the main marsh and will continue weather permitting over the next week.
